Worship for Today: On Vacation!

Note: I'll be on vacation for the next two weeks so you may not hear from me much. See you all in two weeks!

 

The Lord is awe-inspiring, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him in Psalm 57:3,
 

"He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me; God sends his love and his faithfulness."

 

As in many of the psalms that David wrote, Psalm 57 is one where David cries out to God in the midst of danger. He exalts God for his love and faithfulness which God sends from heaven. It is these wonderful qualities of God David identifies that brings God's deliverance of him.

 

As I think of these two qualities of God, his love and faithfulness, I can't help but think of how wonderful they go together! John tells us that God is love in 1 John 4:8.16. God has expressed his love to us in providing his Son to take the punishment for our sin, delivering us. Paul tells us in Romans 5:8, "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

 

As I consider that, I think of how important it is that his love be expressed to us often and without fail. What good is love if it is only a sometimes thing? An unreliable expectation? What if we didn't know if God's love would be there for us tomorrow. Herein I find God's faithfulness such a wonderful complement to his love! We will never find God's love failing us because it is a certain and reliable love - a faithful love!
